Sleep as Self-care
The way I handle stress and pain is to sleep it off. Sometimes that’s four hours. Sometimes that’s twenty hours. The world knocks me down, and I stay down until I’m feeling a little more awesome.

Waste of Time
How do you waste the most time every day? I spend way too much time on Facebook. It is one of my principal outlets to keep in touch with family and friends. I promote my blogs and digital art on the platform. But I also spend at least an hour or two a day doomscrolling.…

Grandma’s Sugar Cream Pies
Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? I love a good sugar cream pie mostly out of the sake of nostalgia. They remind me of my grandma’s love. The family has the recipe and a few people have even tried to make one for me. There was just something about my…
